A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1235 You...You're Mr Chu?

"Er..." Lu Yan-Xi was a little hesitant when she heard Lv Hua's suggestion.

She didn't know anything about this Mr Chu. The only thing she knew was what her father told her before she left the house. He had told her that Mr Chu was a big shot and that she must make sure she got along well with him.

So when Lv Hua wanted her to call Ye Fan and tell him to come over to Jianghai instead, Lu Yan-Xi was a little hesitant.

She didn't want to make Mr Chu angry over this matter.

Lu Yan-Xi finally replied, "Lv Hua, I think both of us ought to go to Yunzhou personally. That would make us look less rude. The higher-ups must have arranged things this way for a good reason. This Mr Chu must be a highly respected senior in the martial arts world. Since we're both juniors on the same mission, it's only right of us to pay him a visit first." "Elder Kong, what do you think?" Lu Yan-Xi then turned to Kong Ming to ask for his opinion.

Kong Ming was the one in charge of this trip, so Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua would have to listen to him.

What the three of them didn't know was that War God Castle had initially wanted Ye Fan to be the one in charge. But since Ye Fan had to hide his prowess and remain low profile, they got Kong Ming to be the person in charge on paper.

Since this was meant to be a secret, none of the three other members knew about this arrangement.

They all thought that Kong Ming had become the leader because he was both senior and powerful enough.

Kong Ming nodded. "Yan-Xi is right too. Hua, Yan-Xi, why don't both of you go to Yunzhou and meet with Mr Chu? Send him regards from War God Castle, then bring him with you back here. HI just wait for all of you here," said Kong Ming.

Kong Ming had quickly assumed that this Mr Chu had to be an older and highly respected martial artist like himself. There was no other reason why War God Castle would make him personally fetch this man.

But what puzzled Kong Ming was that he had never heard of anyone with the surname 'Chu' among the older high level martial artists. "Perhaps I've not paid enough attention to the martial arts circle in Jiangdong," thought Kong Ming to himself as he shook his head.

Unlike people like Chen Lan, he had spent his life absorbed in training his martial arts and didn't care about becoming famous or profiteering, so he didn't know much about anything outside of his immediate surroundings.

He had hit a bottleneck in recent years and had spent a long time just trying to make a breakthrough, so he really didn't know much about other up and coming martial artists.

Since Kong Ming had already said so, Lv Hua didn't protest and headed for Yunzhou with Lu Yan-Xi.

A few hours later, the two of them appeared outside Ye Fan's bungalow.

A cool wind blew through the rustling trees and a peaceful stream flowed past the house.

Lv Hua looked very pleased as he glanced at the bungalow's peaceful and elegant surroundings. "This place is so calm and quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the city. It's really rare to find such a peaceful place. It looks like this Old Mr Chu must be a highly skilled martial artist who prefers to train quietly behind closed doors. It's little wonder that we've never heard of him before this."

Lv Hua always admired these highly skilled martial artists who hid themselves from the world. They had so much power and talent, but they chose to give up the material world and its temptations, choosing instead to live like a hermit and train solely in martial arts.

This sort of mindset alone made him way more formidable than most of the world.

"Come along, Yan-Xi, let's go in and see Old Mr Chu. I'm so curious as to what he looks like," laughed Lv Hua before walking towards the bungalow gate with Lu Yan-Xi.

The two of them gathered their internal energy and projected their voices loud and clear, "Old Mr Chu, are you at home? Your juniors, Lv Hua and Lu Yan-Xi, are here on the orders of War God Castle to pay you a visit!" They both cupped their fists to show their respect.

One second passed. Then two...then finally one entire minute passed, but there was no sound from behind the door. They could only hear the gusting of the wind and the birds chirping. "Nobody's in? But the lights are on," Lv Hua frowned.

Just when they were wondering about this, the door of the house finally opened.

A young man in slippers and a pink apron

with flour on his hands walked out and appeared in front of Lu Yan-Xi and Lv Hua.

"Ah, you guys are here. Please come in. I'm making dumplings with my wife. Once we're done eating the dumplings, we can leave," said Ye Fan in a friendly voice as he welcomed them in.

The two of them were a little stunned to see this young man who obviously just walked out from the kitchen. Lv Hua smiled and said, "You must be Old Mr Chu's grandson, right? Could you take us to see your grandfather?"

It was Ye Fan's turn to be confused. "Old Mr Chu? What Old Mr Chu? Only my wife and I live here. What Old Mr Chu?"

"Ah, we must have come to the wrong place, so sorry about that!" The two of them thought they had come to the wrong house, so they left quickly after apologizing.

But after walking away, Lv Hua and Lu Yan-Xi checked again and were really confused now. "It's this house alright. Did War God

Castle give us the wrong address?"

They ended up knocking on the bungalow's door again.

"Er, sorry, is there really no Old Mr Chu here?"

This time, Ye Fan even brought the dumplings out from the kitchen. He ate one as he shook his head. "This is my house. It doesn't belong to some Old Mr Chu." "That's really strange. Yan-Xi, do you want to check with your dad? Didn't you say your father knows Mr Chu? Maybe he knows his address," said Lv Hua to Lu Yan-Xi.

Lu Yan-Xi nodded. 'Til check with him."

"You're Lu Tian-He's daughter, Lu Yan-Xi, right?" Ye Fan asked with a smile after hearing their conversation.

Lu Yan-Xi was startled. "How did you know?"

Ye Fan chuckled. "I'm the Mr Chu you're both looking for. Your father called in the morning and asked me to take care of you on this trip."

What?!

"You...you're Mr Chu?"

Lv Hua and Lu Yan-Xi were both stunned and their eyes were as wide as saucers as they stared in disbelief at the young man standing before them.

They never imagined that the Mr Chu that War God Castle got them to personally visit and the Mr Chu that Lu Tian-He had told his daughter to be as respectful to as possible would turn out to be this young man here.

This man was probably only in his twenties, right?!
